Mini Bunny

The Mini Bunny is a surprise Christmas gift for my daughter. A few months ago she told me she wanted me to make her a small bunny. She held her hands together into a bowl shape and said “I just wanna hold it like this.” At that moment I knew I would be making her one for Christmas.

I wanted to make the bunny small enough so she would be able to care for it like a real baby rabbit. After a couple failed bunnies.. I finally created one that was perfect!

Be sure to pin, share, and save this free crochet pattern. If not for Christmas, this will be perfect for Easter!

Supplies

Finish off leaving a long tail. I left my tail about 1.5 feet.
Fold your ear flat- so that the yarn end/tail is in the middle and bottom of the ear.
With yarn needle, sew through the center of the ear up 4 rounds and back down.
Now pinch both sides of the ear together and sew the bottom of the ear closed.Leave your yarn end/tail attached. You will use this when attaching it to the head.
